20 Vartarg loads

[Disco_Richy]

Please post your 20VT loads; bullet/powder/barrel length/fps *** usual disclaimers about blowing your face off etc assumed ***

I have a couple of thousand 39sbks for my 204R thermal foxer, but also have a load of 32gr Vmax I want to get through with the VT (will be used 99% for rabbits/birds). I will also need to have a lead free load for a couple of sites - anyone using Hornady NTX or other coppers in the VT?

Happy Xmas ;D

My vt uses n130 at 18.3 grain with 39blitzking. I haven't chronographed the speed though. Steve Kershaw who built the rifle said to use 18g of n130. I've never tried non toxic 20cal

Usual caveat applies as I have found some loads in this book a tad hot. Page from Terrific Twenties (Todd A. Kindler).

18.6g n130 will nearly fill the case up.

Aye, some of those higher loads are going to be pretty (C)runchy!
